Eurasian sensation Laura Gemser combines the most jaw-droppingly gorgeous physical traits of her multiracial lineage with a superhuman inner sensuality that is all her own. Put simply, Laura Gemser embodies the very best that our human species has to offer.

The Indonesian-born bombshell is breast known as the skinvestigative reporter who serves as the title figure (and what a figure) in the Black Emanuelle film series.

Concocted to piggyback on the skinternational Emmanuelle phenomenon—the second installment of which includes Laura as a massage girl—the Black Emanuelle movies include relatively innocent (albeit insanely arousing) efforts such as Emanuelle in the Country and Emanuelle Around the World, as well as outrageous excursions on the order of Emanuelle and the White Slave Trade and Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals.

The innocuously titled Emanuelle in America is the most over-the-top(less) of them all and must be seen to be (barely) believed.

Of course, any film that features Laura Gemser and her amazingly natural bronzed-Barbie-doll body in the buff must be seen, period. So ease back and enjoy a salute to this stupefyingly sexy screen goddess. more…

Before Italian cannibal cinema reached its apex with Cannibal Holocaust and Cannibal Ferox in 1980 and 1981, respectively. But before that, Joe D'Amato decided to pit the ultimate softcore porn heroine up against a tribe of taboo-boosting man-eaters in Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals. In one memorable scene, Laura Gemser and Monica Zanchi indulge in a little light lesbianism near a waterfall, going full frontal and getting a feel of each other's boobs and bush while a monkey in sunglasses looks on, smoking a cigarette. Anyone would need a cigarette after witnessing that! Watch the clip after the cut. more…

Although much continues to be (rightly) made of Deep Throat and the 1970s hardcore era of “Porn Chic,” one can not overstate the simultaneous cultural impact made by the softer side of the X-rating.

With that in mind, Mr. Skin wishes the happiest of birthdays (and birthday suits) to French filmmaker Just Jaeckin, who revolutionized erotic cinema with the worldwide phenomenon Emmanuelle, and who went on to helm other steamy classics on the order of The Story of O, Lady Chatterley’s Lover, and Gwendoline.

Just Jaeckin was born on this date in 1940.

As I was watching on of those Mac commercials on TV today in which a young hip guy represents a Mac and a nerdy older guy represents the PC and I immediately noticed the blonde babe playing the PC guy's therapist was none other than Corinne Bohrer, who got a three-star skin rating when she exposed mams, muff, and mudflaps in the golfing drama Dead Solid Perfect (1988) and appeared (clothed but sexy) in the classic teen sex comedies Joysticks (1983) and The Beach Girls (1982). Then in another Mac commercial I noticed that the woman playing the yoga instructor who was helping the PC guy to relax was Detroit-born rack-tress Judy Greer, who showed rack and rug in the sci-fi comedy What Planet Are You From? (2000). I'm pleased to see how Mac is using some of my favorite nude actresses in their commercials. Who's next? Laura Gemser? more…

"Any excuse is a good excuse to get naked."

These are words by which Mr. Skin lives and breathes, and, more skinportantly, they are the exact words that once dripped from the quivering lips of Indonesian-born eyeful Laura Gemser (Picture: 1), the undisputed goddess of '70s skinternational softcore cinema. more…
